Kolkata: Global body--Project Management Institute (PMI) today said that it was lobbying with Niti Aayog to recognise the role of project management professionals in executing any government projects.

"We are talking to Niti Aayog for involving project management professionals in government projects," PMI India managing director Raj Kalady told PTI. He said that the government was gradually recognizing importance of project management experts for proper and timely execution.

In case of e-governance projects, having PMI certified project manager is one of the 19 rules which each project should follow, Kalady said quoting a government advisory. Besides being a certifying body, PMI is also a global association engaged in advocating build project management capabilities.
